Panda Piano Adventures

My students need various piano books for our school piano class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ward's classroom raised $195

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are from a very low income area and they are not exposed to a wide variety of music.

Our school is a Title 1 school where many of our students have 1 hot meal a day which is the cafeteria lunch.

My students are intelligent vessels of hope. Each child gives me a glimpse of our future and a way to teach and inspire children to appreciate the arts.

My Project

Each student should be allowed to have the opportunity to be exposed to every type of music created. I believe that my students can go the distance and rise to the occasion if they have a chance. I would like to provide them with music so that they can have their own musical escape in tough times.

Just as in education, we do not hide knowledge.

I teach my students to seek knowledge. I would like to give my students the opportunity to be exposed to other composers and genres to empower their lives.
